Just a reminder to get all contest entries submitted by the September 1 deadline. Pictures are due Friday morning, before the start of state session, which starts at 11:00. Be sure to get them labeled and no frames, any arriving with frames, the frames will be asked to be removed from the frame or will NOT be allowed due to limited space and are too heavy to hang.

Hope to see everyone at the session. State Lecturers Conference with next year’s programs to be announced soon.

Quick Tip–Life Skills Series

Cool Idea

How about conducting a “Life Skills Class?” The class could focus on what it takes to properly and easily balance a checkbook, write checks and reconcile any errors found. These are skills that sound simple to some, but not everyone knows how to do them.

This could actually be a series of classes including writing a resume/cover letter, practice interviews, container gardening, budgeting, simple mending, cooking, car care, de-cluttering, and household repairs.

Consider what skills you and your fellow Grangers could use some help with and start a life skills class of your own! Brushing up on life skills like these can really simplify your life and the lives of your fellow Grangers.
